Mederma Skin Care for Scars Advanced Scar Gel Reviews

Last summer, some mosquitos decided to decorate my upper right arm with a ring of bites. The scars never disappeared. I am self-conscious of wearing sleeveless tops, so I spent the fair amount of money this costs. It had an unusual texture and didn't really absorb into my skin. I have to agree with "Little Bunny" that cocoa butter works far better.

This product did nothing for me. I didn't like to consistency of it, it didn't absorb well into my skin, and it didn't really have any effect on the scar on my cheek once I got my stitches removed. Plain old cocoa butter was FAR more effective.

I am quick to scar; breakouts, mosquito bites, scratches. Sighhhh..... I have found that the BEST treatment is tackling them immediately with good old Neosporin. If you don't have it, keep is moisturized, moisturized; cocoa butter, A & D Ointment, Vaseline or Aquaphor work in a pinch. Prevention is everything, yet I still get suckered into these gimmicky scar treatments; it's terrible, but I am so...read more relieved to know I am not the only one! This treatment ran me around $16 and I have been using it for several months, twice a day, even though this formula claims 1X a day is all you need. Even though I stuck with it so long, I really found the product completely useless. The consistency reminded me of aloe vera gel that my mom used to put on my cuts and burns when I was growing up; you know, the real kind yet not quite as sticky. It did absolutely nothing for my scar and was an unnecessary step in my facial regime. I think I will just prevent, prevent, prevent moving forward and love whatever gets left behind; dark spots or scars, I am still beautiful. :) — 7 months ago

I was so clumsy that I knocked down a mug filled with boiling water about a year ago. My stomach area got burned, and some of the skin peeled off after I used ice cubes.....anyway, I used a tube of ointment, and after my skin was healed I started using Mederma. Yeah, I agree, Mederma is expensive. I got the biggest tube available, and it was more than $25. I patiently used Merderma continuously. T...read morehe colorless gel is not very thick, but a bit gooey, and has a weird scent, not really like aloe though. My skin feels soothing after apply Mederma, but that's not why I bought this. The brown area seemed to fade away a bit over months, but I can still see them to this day. I cannot honestly say that it was because of Mederma. It may be that the time is the key factor to fade the burned spots. I did not buy the third tube because there was no improvement at the end of the second tube.

one of the people where my sister works said this was the BEST thing for stretchmarks. when you have a whole body full following a pregnancy, [stomach, chest, hips, back and legs!] the size of the tube is a real pain. plus it doesnt absorb and kinda peels off too, and it didnt do anything that either me or my sister could see [we both tried it].
i havent found anything that works well for stretch marks for sure.

I used this on a scar that was left on my arm from a Smallpox shot. It did absolutely nothing but peel off. I didn't get rid of the scar, it didn't even make it less noticable, at all. A complete waste of money.

Saw only slight improvement for a 6 month old burn scar from a curling iron (clumsy!). The amount of improvement isn't really worth the money. The reality is that very few drug store brands are actually effective on scars. You'd have to get a dermatologist to get you a prescription strength scar fading cream to get real results!

I didn't see much improvement when I tried this on a few scars. There was some faint change on the newest one I tried it on, but even after using this for a few months it wasn't enough of a change to make me still use.
